of Yorkeys Knob.
Yorkeys never gentrified on schedule, and that's its charm and its opportunity: original beach shacks sit streets away from serious view homes, the yacht club pours the coldest beer on the northern beaches, and the marina keeps the suburb's identity working-nautical rather than resort.
